Wieland Der Schmied (Hitler)
''Wieland der Schmied'' (English: ''Wayland the Smith'') is the unfinished juvenilia opera by Adolf Hitler that he began around 1905, in his early 20s. From 1907 to 1908, Hitler would unsuccessfully apply to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts twice. During this time, his fascination with German composer Richard Wagner began, a relationship which would only deepen as his German nationalism grew. The opera was modelled after Wagner's unfinished version of the same name. There is only one surviving piece of sheet music from the work, a piano sketch made by Hitler's childhood friend and music conductor August Kubizek.

The draft, which is mostly in prose, was written between December 1849 and March 1850. It was published as an appendix to Wagner's essay '' The Art-Work of the Future'' as an example of the ideals to which such art-works should aspire - "a glorious Saga which long ago the raw, uncultured Folk of old-time Germany indited for no other reason than that of inner, free, Necessity". The libretto contains many elements which are found in other of Wagner's operas (a swan, a wound, a spear, a ring, smithying, an absent mysterious father, a forbidden quest ...
